swallow in Numbers 26
SWAH-loh
This creature shows up in Numbers 26:10: “and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died; at the time the fire devoured two…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Numbers 26:10
“and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died; at the time the fire devoured two hundred fifty men, and they became a sign.”
What kids can learn
When you hear swallow in Numbers, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Numbers 26:10 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
